Korea Artiz Studio S'pore outlet abruptly cease operations, over S$271,000 in pre-payment losses reported
Employees and vendors have allegedly not been paid as well.
The Singapore outlet of wedding photography studio Korea Artiz Studio has ceased operations, leaving many couples stranded with prepayment losses exceeding S$271,000. This abrupt closure follows a similar incident at the studio's Taiwan outlet, which shut down on August 10. Customers claim they were not paid their salaries and did not receive any updates from management, forcing them to cancel their scheduled photoshoots.
The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) has received over 66 complaints about the studio from August 14 to August 18, all involving more than S$271,000 in prepayment losses. Some customers report that their edited photos are being handled by a third-party vendor who has also not been paid, leaving them in limbo. The studio, established in Busan, Korea, in 2008 and expanded to Singapore in 2017, remains listed as live on the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) profile.
